Everything You Need to Know About AAA

We have a slight step up into the bar which we have a ramp for.

Toilets unfortunately, being an old building, are up 5 steps.

No strobes.

Absolutely. Coffee, cocktails, craft beer, seasonal specials, and whatever secret concoction the bar team has dreamt up that day. And possibly the odd hot bite...

(We make no promises about how “festive” or “sensible” those drinks will be.)

Nothing formal. A bit feral is encouraged.

Layers, texture, chaos — the kind of outfit that looks like it was assembled in a hurry but defended with confidence.

If it feels slightly wrong, a touch overdone, or like it’s survived a night out already, you’re doing it right.

Yes — but numbers are capped. Grab one... fast...

Of course! There is a link in the page to book or reserve your seats.

Remember, tables are limited and only held for 15 mins

Nope — but it is free and space is limited, so turning up early is highly recommended. Once we’re full, we’re full, and you’ll be left standing outside humming Silent Night to yourself.

Up to 6.
If you turn up with 7, we’ll simply pretend one of you is a coat.

Absolutely.

The quiz isn’t about being the smartest team in the room — it’s about having a good time, hearing great music, and occasionally getting one right that no one else does.

Some teams come to win. Others come for the atmosphere. Both tend to stay longer than they planned.

No! We have a mixture of vinyl and high definition audio.

Eternal glory. Smugness.
And potentially some AAA goodies if we’re feeling generous and/or caffeinated enough.

A mix of well-known tracks, deep cuts, and the occasional curveball.

Some you’ll get instantly. Some you’ll recognise but can’t quite place. Others might send you down a very specific memory you didn’t expect to revisit.

It’s less about obscure trivia, more about music, moments, and the stories around them.

This is AAA, we’re contractually unable to resist playing things loudly and asking people to identify them.

All our allergen information is clearly listed in-store and online. We handle dairy, nuts, and soy products, so cross-contamination can’t be ruled out. If you have severe allergies, just give us a heads-up when you order — our baristas are trained to accommodate wherever possible.

Nice try, but your subscription is linked to your unique QR code and account. It’s meant for one person, one caffeine habit. Sharing is caring, but maybe just buy your mate a flat white instead.

Yes! Your subscription covers in-house and takeaway drinks. Just flash your QR code at the bar. We use eco-friendly cups, but feel free to bring your own reusable mug — we’ll even admire you for it.

Just show your AAA Coffee QR code when you order. Our barista scans it, checks your subscription status in real time, and serves your drink with the kind of efficiency usually reserved for Formula 1 pit crews. The system automatically enforces your cooldown period between drinks, so you don’t accidentally mainline espresso.

Each subscription includes up to 10 coffees per week, perfect for your Monday-through-Friday ritual plus a few weekend treats. Your allowance resets every Monday morning, just in time to face reality again.

Honestly? Probably not. But if you drink three or more coffees a week, you’ll save money — and you’ll be part of the AAA Coffee Syndicate, which has its own perks (like priority events and insider playlists). So it’s not just caffeine; it’s community.

Unused coffees don’t roll over. We’re a coffee house, not a bank. Each week is a fresh start — so make the most of it and stay caffeinated.

Don’t panic. Just come see us or email aaa@audioarchitect.co. We’ll sort it faster than you can say “double espresso.” Most issues are quick sync fixes between Shopify and our in-house system.

Our AAA Coffee Subscription is your weekly caffeine fix on autopilot. For £10.99 a week, you get up to 10 handcrafted coffees, made by real humans (no soulless pods here). Once you subscribe, you’ll receive a unique QR code linked to your account. Flash it at the bar, and your next brew is already on the house. Each redemption is tracked automatically — no cards, no awkward loyalty stamps, just good coffee and good vibes.

To keep things fair (and your heart rate sensible), there’s a short cooldown period between drinks — usually around 30 minutes. It prevents queue-hopping and ensures everyone gets their turn at the espresso machine.

We stock the full line-up: whole, semi, oat, and coconut. Syrup-wise, expect the usual suspects — vanilla, caramel, hazelnut — plus some seasonal wildcards (gingerbread might make a cameo). You can tweak your drink however you like; it’s included in your subscription.

Unfortunately the Sound Engineer is not the DJ. You'll probably be greeted with a pretty grumpy face and a hostile response. The natural habitat for a sound engineer is usually surround by other sound engineers, who don't speak to each other, who are all surrounded by cables. It will usually be quite because sound engineers hate music unless they are being paid to listen to it.

But if you get yourself down to AAA you bloody well can! See you at the bar.

Of course — and frankly, that makes you an excellent friend. Head to our Gift Cards section or ask at the bar. You can load any amount and the recipient can start their subscription whenever they’re ready.

Absolutely. You’re in charge. You can pause or cancel anytime from your online account dashboard. Changes apply to the next billing cycle — no hidden fees, no melodrama.

We know it is frustrating to see a product you like and then you realise it is out of stock. However sometimes some of our products are very popular and sell out very quickly, so you need to be quick to get your hands on them. We do our best to keep on top of stock and predict the sales we may receive so this doesn't happen. Sometimes our products are 'Limited Edition', so once they are gone they are gone. If the product is still being made please check back in a day or two as we update the stores and the products with information and stock on a regular basis.

Audio Architect Apparel understand that getting your order to you is the most important thing we have to do and if something goes wrong, which occasionally it does, then our first priority is to fix it quickly for you, if you wish to make a comment or suggestion on how we can improve our systems or processes then please send a message to customerservice@audioarchitect.co

The role of the Sound Engineer has been a sought-after career ever since plectrum hit guitar string. Many women and men have trampled through the adhoc world of rock 'n' roll and forged meaningful and lasting relationships with pieces of equipment, mixing desks, flight cases, cities they've only seen through the window of an airport and music they hated when they were 17 years old. Life as a Sound Engineer is hard but really fun too! Start by reading this book:Live Audio: the art of mixing a show

Yes. Yes he is!

Civil unrest! That's what would happen!!

Well, to be honest, and brutally honest at that, the speed of sound isn't constant. Its change depends on environmental factors like the temperature and air pressure. Saying that, we can use a rough guestimate of 343.2 m/s when the temperature is 20˚C.
